Remembering People Power through the Day

  February 25, 2026 Day 3 of OJT: Work from Home, Laravel Framework Setup      Today was different from the first two days, instead of heading straight to office, we worked from home in observance of the People Power celebration, of course with the blessing of our University President . It's always meaningful to have this day off to remember such an important part of our unique history, but since we're racing against the clock with our hour requirement, we decided to stay productive even at the comfort of our own home.      Working from home has its own vibe. No commuting, no peer factors, and more comfortable setup, this sparks freedom to work even without clothes. But, this setup requires more self-discipline and better communication with the team since we're not physically together and the enticing television and toys at home. For that, we stayed connected through messaging apps, calls, had it few in the morning to distribute attainable tasks on wha...

Second Day is Imagination Day

  February 24, 2026 Day 2 of OJT: Deep Dive into Design and Development Planning If yesterday was about orientation and getting our feet wet, today was about diving headfirst into the actual work.

I've used Figma before for school projects, but there's something different about designing with actual implementation in mind. We worked on wireframes first, mapping out the user flows and ensuring we understood exactly how users would navigate through each system. Then we moved on to high-fidelity designs, choosing color schemes, typography, and creating reusable components. The attention to detail required was...

  February 23, 2026 First Day of OJT: Orientation, Meetings, Assignments and New Milestones to reach      Today marked the official start of my On-the-Job Training, though it took way more time for us to get approved, it came clear that this is the time we stride our feet and arms, and honestly, it was a bulk load of information, expectations, and excitement. We three, I, Vincent and Kristel walked into the Dean's office of Bicol University - East Campus this morning with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. First days are always like that, aren't they? Morning Orientation (9:04 AM - 11:30 AM)      Our orientation was scheduled for 9 AM to 12:00 PM, but we actually started a bit earlier at 9:04 AM and ended around 11:30 AM. The session covered all the essentials we needed to know to get started.      We were introduced to the non-teaching staff who manage various departments these are the people we'll be coordinating with for administr...
